The slaves were hard at work within the bowels of the main step pyramid as the Crocodile God, his guards, and Vala swept past. One or two looked up at Vala, then quickly hid their heads. News of what happened to the blasphemers and what would happen was spreading through the slaves, and quickly.
Death gliders were, under Sobek's instructions, also undergoing restoration now, as well as the primary systems of each pyramid ship. The slaves may not know the inner workings or exactly what they're doing, they are only allowed, in their minds, to assist in their God's magic, but they follow their God's instructions to the letter. Here and there, a death glider hovers, then returns to its stand.
A sole Al'kesh came into view. It was the only one fully restored at the moment, and this they took. Sobek remained lounging on the dais the entire time while a Jaffa sat at the controls, smoothly piloting the ship over trees and more step pyramids. There were two other Jaffa in the room, along with Vala, keeping an eye on her. The ship glides low over the jungle line, a bloated metal beast that flooded the air with a low hum that seemed to vibrate bone and skin.
Hours passed. Vala was free to walk around with a guard, and for the most part, Sobek ignored her. The jungle was just beginning to peter out reluctantly into plains when the ship slowed. More pyramids dotted the landscape, constant tributes to the God across the planet. Turning in place, it began to lower. Gears shifted, the drone of machinery changed pitch. Below, slaves were coming out from the buildings to see what the noise was.
The God stepped out into a sizable settlement hugging the line between jungle line, a rolling prairie and a massive lake. Just like before, the slaves already outside, upon seeing him, fell to the ground, pressing their heads to the grass.
